How to access your Hosting service using Filezilla
To access and transfer your files, you will need to download an FTP client, a program that connects to the remote FTP server and manages the sending/receiving of files. The most popular FTP client is FileZilla. It is a free and easy-to-use FTP manager, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems.
